They are composed of 24 women from Staten Island who love the game and have been playing together regularly for about 20 years. In addition to their love for the game, they enjoy seeking out the most beautiful courses in the world. Recently they travelled to St. George, Utah, and ran into famous golf professional Billy Casper at Youkan Amphitheater.

"Not only was he still a charmer, but he spent time talking to us about his life and how to play a good round of golf," said the girls.

While in Utah, the women had the pleasure of playing Entrada at Snow Canyon, Coral Canyon and Sand Hollow. Just for a change of pace, they also hiked at Zion National Park.
